Mac Jones and Cam Newton both expected to play on Thursday

Mike Reiss of ESPN reports both Cam Newton and Mac Jones are expected to play in the Patriots’ preseason opener against Washington.

Fantasy Impact: Bill Belichick is always tight-lipped about his intentions, so it’s unclear exactly how the playing time will shake out tonight. He has previously called Newton the starter, though, which means we should expect the veteran to take the field first. This is shaping up as an interesting position battle to watch this summer.
